"Andrew Garfield, oh my goodness!" McCurdy said of the dreamy "The Amazing Spider-Man" star. "If he were on, I feel like it would overload, it'd be too much."

Grande, who certainly has some hip-hop cred of her own thanks to her Mac Miller-assisted "The Way," shared that she'd love to see Weezy make an appearance. "Lil Wayne," she enthusiastically revealed, before wondering what his storyline might end up looking like. "In what world would he do it? In what world would there be a storyline that would fit having Lil Wayne on the show?" she joked.

"Sam & Cat" [premiered] Saturday, June 8 on Nick at 8 p.m. ET and follows the two young women as they embark on life as roommates and babysitters. And, the twosome even has in mind who from the "iCarly" universe could really help up the star power, considering that "Victorious" actor Eric Lange has already banked an appearance on the series.

"I wish Miranda [Cosgrove] or Jerry [Trainor] or Nathan [Kress] [would come on the show]," McCurdy shared, with her small-screen partner-in-crime adding, "That would be fun."

"I love them all," McCurdy continued. "I feel weird singling some of them out. It'd be super cool if they were to show up and be in an episode."
